Darren Turner: Licence to thrill

Darren Turner had his first race in Aston Martin's new LMP1 car at Barcelona last weekend. Our intrepid columnist discusses life at the sharp end of the LMS and considers his prospects at the blunt end of the London Marathon

Aston Martin Racing's LMP1 scored a debut victory at Barcelona last weekend, and although it wasn't my car that won the race, I was really pleased for my team-mates Tomas Enge, Stefan Mucke and Jan Charouz.

They're going to get stronger and stronger as the season goes on - that certainly won't be their only win. They can target podiums and big points at every race because they've got a very good shot at the championship.
